Rudra Puja is an ancient practice followed in India since time immemorial. 'Rudra' means 'SHIVA' - the Destroyer of Evil. Puja means that which is born out of fullness. Through this puja, a person feels the inner peace and fulfillment. In this Puja, Lord Shiva is worshiped in his Rudra form. 

Rudra Puja is considered as one of the greatest Puja's in all Vedic scriptures to remove all evils, attain all desires and for prosperity. 
 

During this Puja, when we pray to Shiva - the Lord of transformation, the entire negative energy around us in form of disease, depression, and unhappiness gets transformed into peace, prosperity, and joy. 

The Puja is performed with a crystal "Linga", the mantra that is chanted gets absorbed in materials like curd, milk, ghee, honey etc. The chanting of the mantras is so pure and meditative that it takes one to a different plane. 

All this is offered to Lord Shiva with reverence, love, and gratitude.
